So, sometime ago I got bit annoyed by my site. Mainly because the domain/name I have used on this site. It is old, I have always used it, but it is also bit lame. Because of this I started to find ways to improve/recreate my site.

First I made list of reasons why I want to have website. I want to have blog to post random rants. I want somekind of site where I can place all of my projects for everybody.

Then I started to make new name for my website… Well I didn’t got any good ideas for new name/domain. So the process of updating my site became slow.

After giving up on the new domain idea, I just wanted to recreate the layout, but I bought Starcraft 2… It and couple of other games killed my productivity. I also wanted to continue other projects that I had more fun with. Example Gamingstats is now on very stable state. I am also soon finishing my next map to EP2.

After month of “under development” status, I gave up creating new site/recreating this site. In that one month I got nothing done towards the new site. So yeah…

I may update the main site (www.pelikoira.net) little to point users to content I want them to go, but mostly I am going to keep this site as it is. Maybe new theme to my blog? Maybe…

I have thinking about some changes to my current website. Maybe even creating another website.

I will keep this blog under this domain. This blog has been running for almost 2 years and I am happy with it. Maybe new layout or something.

Sometimes I have thinked about closing this site down… But I get stable traffic and I like to post random stuff on my blog when I want to.

I have issues mainly with the main site where I place my projects. I have tried couple of CMS systems and now I have build my own files.pelikoira.net system, but I am not happy with it. I want some kind of site that I can use to show my projects more easily, current is not good for it. It just lists my projects. I want some kind of portfolio.

As I have finished the Gamingstats project recently, I can continue with other projects. Upcoming project ideas for me:

• New layout for blog
• New system for projects
• C++ game-engine / game
• TF2 map

So if I don’t post anything new, it doesn’t mean that I have abandon this blog, I am just busy with other stuff.

(And this is my 100′th post to this blog! \o/)

Edit: and yeah, forgot to mention. The vps is down. Host had some issues with the connection to the datacenter and it was lagging/bugging all the time. So vps/ts3 server is down. Maybe new vps in future? (Maybe even tf2 server?)

I just published new layout for main site: www.pelikoira.net

I build it with awesome css framework called 960 grid system. If you code websites I recommend to try 960 gs, because it makes developing lots of easier and faster.

This site also contains my first JQuery effect that I have used. It is simple “tab” system on project page that allows to change project without reloading page. It also makes it easier to me to control the site, because now it has only 3 files. If every project is on it’s own file, I would have something like 10 .php files. Yes, I don’t have any cms system, because I don’t need them. If I need to change something I take ssh connection and modify files remotely with vim.

I build this site on Debian system with Konsole -> Bash -> Vim system.

And of course all the code (xhtml/css/rss/js) is valid.

I did small update to et:qw tracker, it mostly affects the api feature.

• Api without bad formating (<xp>xp: 18923.8664553</xp> changed to <xp>18923.8664553</xp>)
• Changed name to api feed (xml/rss to xml)
• Changed api file header to application/xml

I moved away from my previous host. Here at new host I have couple of cool features like, Ruby on Rails, Python, 10g storage and unlimited amount of MySQL databases. On previous host I only got 3 databases and 300m of storage at same prize!

So now I have this new blog. It is currently pretty basic, no custom themes, no plugins, no posts. But when I got some time I will make my own unique WordPress theme. I will also add some plugins and other cool things.
